The Venetian Betrayal Despite the good historical links and unusual plot, I am totally put off by Berry's disdain of proper English grammar. Sentence fragments are not "style," they're a laziness and a short cut to actually expressing complete thoughts. I am so irritated with this, I won't finish the book and will avoid his work from no on.
